I think the solution is something like recognising that you feel hurt and upset but acknowledging that hurt and upset alone don't entitle you to anything so if you want to preserve the relationship you have to both try to find a solution

If I were a chap with medical problems which are well known to make it difficult to rise to the occasion and my wife, whom I thought knew me well after all these years, pitched straight in with, "You need to see a counsellor," I would be quite wounded by the implication that she thought it was a psychological problem.
"Shall we go and talk to the GP about this?" would, on the other hand, be a reasonable suggestion, and if he refused to do that, well, give him a day or two to let the idea sink in and he'll come round to it.

Well yes to having sex with the other person because you fancy them. When they refuse you this must mean they don't fancy you, right?
So that is when we get the whole story about "no it's not that. It's just that I really wish you would empty the dishwasher without having to be asked," sort of stuff.
And round we go again - emptying the dishwasher and then being told that you should not expect some sort of sexual reward for it. Actually I never did expect any reward. We started at the point of sex being withheld. The explanation for that behaviour made no sense to any man, but there we go.

Withdrawal isn't that reliable, RD - unilateral or not. And don't you let that Pope tell you any different

Is "emptying the dishwasher" a euphemism for "giving me an orgasm"? I think we should be told.
